Well I hung around as long as I could
Even though it was such a drag
It got so bad that I wanted to leave
I even packed my bag
Well we can pretend that we are in love
And I'll always be your man
But I know full well in the back of my mind
I got me an exit plan
You convinced me to stay
When I knew it was wrong
I went against my guts
We tried to make it work for the sake of the kid
We both were a little bit nuts
It's always best to have an out
Tucked away in the back your mind
So when things get rough you'll always know
Where to look for the exit sign
Well we struggled so hard year after year
But things never got any better
One day I awoke to find you were gone
And in your place was a letter
